Biography:

Binh Pham is a data analyst in the Instrument Controls and Data Science Department at Idaho National Laboratory. She currently works on data analysis of TRISO fuel performance experiments for the NDMAS (NGNP Data Management and Analysis System). In this capacity, she implements statistical methods to monitor the data for abnormalities and other trends looking for indicators of instrument failures. Prior to joining INL she worked in the Psychology Department at the University of California at Santa Barbara. She has a Ph.D. degree from Moscow Power Engineering Institute in Moscow, Russia. She also attended MEV summer school data and validation and verification workshops. Outside of work she enjoys traveling, hiking, and spending time with her friends.
